' j- The consolidation of the “World’s Greatest Shows” and the “Greatest Shows on Earth” in one circus of colissal size, con stitutes the amusement surprise of the country. Nothing to ap proach this gigantic, new circus lias ever before toured America, ft lias been formed by merging the pick and the cream of all that was biggest and best in the two famous shows. It would lie folly to attempt to enumerate its many wonders. Some idea of the enor mous scale upon which features!

For instance—-a herd of eight giraffes are exhibited in place of two or three shown in the past. The great tournament which opens the main-tent program, is the most magnificent thing in pa'- v geantrv yet produced in America. Hundreds upon hundreds of gor geously costumed characters and beautiful horses take part in it. The morning street parade is the longest and most brillant ever given anywhere. It is a stupend ous super-circus that baffles des cription. * TEACHER WANTED. A teacher is wanted for County Line School for another year. The school to begin by Dec. Ist, of this year.

THE REASON WHY Why rims a barber's pole have si ripesi In early years tlie barber not only cut hair and shaved people, but he aa as also a surgeon, lie was a surgeon to the extent that- he hied people. In early times our knowledge of surgery was practi cally limited 1o blood letting. A great many of the ailments were attributed to too much blood in the body, and when anything got wrong with a man or Avoman, the first thing they thought of was to reduce the amount of blood in the body by taking some of it out. The toAvn barber Avns Iho man a\lio did this for people, and his pole represented the sign of his business. The round ball at the top, which THURSDAY, OCTOBER 30 is generally gilded. represents the barbering end of the business It stood for tlie brass basin which the barber used to prepare lather for shaving customers. The pole itself represents the stuff v. hiclr people were having blood taken out of their bodies held during the operation. The two spiral libhons, one rod and one white, which are painted spir ally on the pole, represent the ban dages. The white one stood for the bandage which was put on before the blood was taken out and the rod one t lie bandage which was used for binding up the wound when 11 10 operation was complet ed From the Book of Wonders,” published and copyrighted by the Bureau of Industrial Education, Inc., Washington, D.
